Definitions As used herein, the following definitions apply, unless stated otherwise:

The use of the prefix CR_y, wherein x and y in each case represent a natural number (x < y), indicates that the chain or ring structure or combination of chain and ring structure speci-fied and mentioned in direct conjunction may consist of a total of at most y and at least x carbon atoms.

Alkyl is made up of the sub-groups saturated hydrocarbon chains and unsaturated hy-drocarbon chains, while the latter may be further subdivided into hydrocarbon chains with a double bond (alkenyl) and hydrocarbon chains with a triple bond (alkynyl). Al-kenyl contains at least one double bond, alkynyl contains at least one triple bond. If a hy-drocarbon chain were to carry both at least one double bond and also at least one triple bond, by definition it would belong to the alkynyl sub-group. All the sub-groups men-tioned above may further be divided into straight-chain (unbranched) and branched. If an alkyl is substituted, the substitution may be mono- or polysubstitution in each case, at all the hydrogen-carrying carbon atoms, independently of one another.
Examples of representatives of individual sub-groups are listed below.

By the terms propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl etc.
without any fur-ther definition are meant saturated hydrocarbon groups with the corresponding number of carbon atoms, all the isomeric forms being included.

By the terms propenyl, butenyl, pentenyl, hexenyl, heptenyl, octenyl, nonenyl, decenyl etc.
without any further definition are meant unsaturated hydrocarbon groups with the corre-sponding number of carbon atoms and a double bond, all the isomeric forms, i.e. (Z)/(E) isomers, being included where applicable.

By the terms butadienyl, pentadienyl, hexadienyl, heptadienyl, octadienyl, nonadienyl, decadienyl etc. without any further definition are meant unsaturated hydrocarbon groups with the corresponding number of carbon atoms and two double bonds, all the isomeric forms, i.e. (Z)/(E) isomers, being included where applicable.

By the term heteroalkyl are meant groups which can be derived from the alkyl as defined above in its broadest sense if, in the hydrocarbon chains, one or more of the groups -CH3 are replaced independently of one another by the groups -OH, -SH or -NH2, one or more of the groups -CH2- are replaced independently of one another by the groups -0-, -S- or -NH-, one or more of the groups H
I
-C-are replaced by the group -N-one or more of the groups =CH- are replaced by the group =N-, one or more of the groups =CH2 are replaced by the group =NH or one or more of the groups =CH are replaced by the group =N, while overall there may only be a maximum of three heteroatoms in a het-eroalkyl, there must be at least one carbon atom between two oxygen atoms and between two sulphur atoms or between one oxygen and one sulphur atom and the group as a whole must be chemically stable.

It is immediately apparent from the indirect definition/derivation from alkyl that heteroal-kyl is made up of the sub-groups saturated hydrocarbon chains with heteroatom(s), heteroalkenyl and heteroalkynyl, and one further subdivision may be carried out into straight-chain (unbranched) and branched. If a heteroalkyl is substituted, the substitu-tion may be mono- or polysubstitution in each case, at all the hydrogen-carrying oxygen, sulphur, nitrogen and/or carbon atoms, independently of one another.
Heteroalkyl itself may be linked to the molecule as a substituent both via a carbon atom and via a heteroa-tom.
Typical examples are listed below:

dimethylaminomethyl; dimethylaminoethyl (1- dimethylaminoethyl; 2-dimethyl-aminoethyl); dimethylaminopropyl (1-dimethylaminopropyl, 2-dimethylaminopropyl, 3-dimethylaminopropyl); diethylaminomethyl; diethylaminoethyl (1-diethylaminoethyl, 2-diethylaminoethyl); diethylaminopropyl (1-diethylaminopropyl, 2-diethylamino-propyl, 3-diethylaminopropyl); diisopropylaminoethyl (1-diisopropylaminoethyl, 2-di-isopropylaminoethyl); bis-2-methoxyethylamino; [2-(dimethylamino-ethyl)-ethyl-amino]-methyl; 3-[2-(dimethylamino-ethyl)-ethyl-amino]-propyl; hydroxymethyl; 2-hydroxy-ethyl; 3-hydroxypropyl; methoxy; ethoxy; propoxy; methoxymethyl; 2-methoxyethyl etc.

Haloalkyl is derived from alkyl as hereinbefore defined in its broadest sense, when one or more hydrogen atoms of the hydrocarbon chain are replaced independently of one another by halogen atoms, which may be identical or different. It is immediately apparent from the indirect definition/derivation from alkyl that haloalkyl is made up of the sub-groups satu-rated halohydrocarbon chains, haloalkenyl and haloalkynyl, and further subdivision may be made into straight-chain (unbranched) and branched. If a haloalkyl is substi-tuted, the substitution may be mono- or polysubstitution in each case, at all the hydrogen-carrying carbon atoms, independently of one another.
Typical examples are listed below:

-CF3; -CHF2; -CH2F; -CF2CF3; -CHFCF3; -CH2CF3; -CF2CH3; -CHFCH3;

-CHFCH2CH3; -CHFCH2CF3 etc.

Halogen denotes fluorine, chlorine, bromine and/or iodine atoms.

Cycloalkyl is made up of the sub-groups monocyclic hydrocarbon rings, bicyclic hydro-carbon rings and spirohydrocarbon rings, while each sub-group may be further subdi-vided into saturated and unsaturated (cycloalkenyl). The term unsaturated means that in the ring system in question there is at least one double bond, but no aromatic system is formed. In bicyclic hydrocarbon rings two rings are linked such that they have at least two carbon atoms in common. In spirohydrocarbon rings one carbon atom (spiroatom) is shared by two rings. If a cycloalkyl is substituted, the substitution may be mono- or poly-substitution in each case, at all the hydrogen-carrying carbon atoms, independently of one another. Cycloalkyl itself may be linked to the molecule as substituent via any suitable po-sition of the ring system.
Typical examples of individual sub-groups are listed below.

Cycloalkylalkyl denotes the combination of the above-defined groups alkyl and cycloal-kyl, in each case in their broadest sense. The alkyl group as substituent is directly linked to the molecule and is in turn substituted by a cycloalkyl group. The alkyl and cycloalkyl may be linked in both groups via any carbon atoms suitable for this purpose. The respective sub-groups of alkyl and cycloalkyl are also included in the combination of the two groups.

Heter oar ylalkyl denotes the combination of the alkyl and heteroaryl groups defined here-inbefore, in each case in their broadest sense. The alkyl group as substituent is directly linked to the molecule and is in turn substituted by a heteroaryl group. The linking of the alkyl and heteroaryl may be achieved on the alkyl side via any carbon atoms suitable for this purpose and on the heteroaryl side by any carbon or nitrogen atoms suitable for this purpose. The respective sub-groups of alkyl and heteroaryl are also included in the combi-nation of the two groups.

By the term heterocycloalkyl are meant groups which are derived from the cycloalkyl as hereinbefore defined if in the hydrocarbon rings one or more of the groups -CH2- are re-placed independently of one another by the groups -0-, -S- or -NH- or one or more of the groups =CH- are replaced by the group =N-, while not more than five heteroatoms may be present in total, there must be at least one carbon atom between two oxygen atoms and between two sulphur atoms or between one oxygen and one sulphur atom and the group as a whole must be chemically stable. Heteroatoms may simultaneously be present in all the possible oxidation stages (sulphur 4 sulphoxide -SO-, sulphone -SOz-; nitrogen 4 N-oxide). It is immediately apparent from the indirect definition/derivation from cycloalkyl that heterocycloalkyl is made up of the sub-groups monocyclic hetero-rings, bicyclic hetero-rings and spirohetero-rings, while each sub-group can also be further subdivided into saturated and unsaturated (heterocycloalkenyl). The term unsaturated means that in the ring system in question there is at least one double bond, but no aromatic system is formed. In bicyclic hetero-rings two rings are linked such that they have at least two atoms in common. In spirohetero-rings one carbon atom (spiroatom) is shared by two rings. If a heterocycloalkyl is substituted, the substitution may be mono- or polysubstitu-tion in each case, at all the hydrogen-carrying carbon and/or nitrogen atoms, independently of one another. Heterocycloalkyl itself as substituent may be linked to the molecule via any suitable position of the ring system.
Typical examples of individual sub-groups are listed below.

Heterocycloalkylalkyl denotes the combination of the alkyl and heterocycloalkyl groups defined hereinbefore, in each case in their broadest sense. The alkyl group as substituent is directly linked to the molecule and is in turn substituted by a heterocycloalkyl group. The linking of the alkyl and heterocycloalkyl may be achieved on the alkyl side via any carbon atoms suitable for this purpose and on the heterocycloalkyl side by any carbon or nitrogen atoms suitable for this purpose. The respective sub-groups of alkyl and heterocycloalkyl are also included in the combination of the two groups.

The term "substituted" indicates that a hydrogen atom which is bound directly to the atom in question is replaced by another atom or another group of atoms. Bivalent substituents such as for example =O, =S, =NR, =NOR, =NNRR, =NN(R)C(O)NRR, =Nz or the like can only be substituents at carbon atoms. They require exchanging for two geminal hydrogen atoms, i.e. hydrogen atoms which are bound to the same carbon atom saturated before the substitution. Substitution by a bivalent substituent is therefore only possible at the groups -CH3 and -CH2-, not at the groups H I H H
-i- -i- C~ C =C\
H
> > > ~ ~

-C-H -C-and not at aromatic carbon atoms.

Additionally, by the term "suitable substituent/suitable group" is meant a substituent which on the one hand is suitable on account of its valency and on the other hand leads to a system with chemical stability.

The following Examples describe the biological activity of the compounds according to the invention without restricting the invention to these Examples.

As has been found, the compounds of general formula (1) are characterised by their wide range of applications in the therapeutic field. Particular mention should be made of those applications in which the inhibition of specific cell cycle kinases, particularly the inhibiting effect on the proliferation of cultivated human tumour cells but also the proliferation of other cells, such as endothelial cells, for example, plays a part.

As demonstrated by DNA staining followed by Cellomics Array Scan analysis (Cellcycle Analysis), the inhibition of proliferation brought about by the compounds according to the invention is mediated above all by the defective formation of bipolar mitotic spindles. As a result the duplicated chromosomes cannot be correctly divided into two daughter cells, leading finally to inhibition of proliferation and apoptosis.

Measurement of the inhibition of proliferation on cultivated human tumour cells To measure proliferation on cultivated human tumour cells, cells of colon carcinoma cell line HCT 116 (American Type Culture Collection (ATCC)) are cultivated in RPMI

medium (Gibco) and 10% foetal calf serum (Gibco). Then the HCT 116 cells are placed in 96-well flat-bottomed plates (Falcon) at a density of 1400 cells per well in medium and incubated overnight in an incubator (at 37 C and 5% C02). The active sub-stances are added to the cells in various concentrations. After 72 hours incubation 20 l AlamarBlue reagent (AccuMed International) is added to each well, and the cells are incu-bated for a further 3-4 hours. After incubation the colour change of the AlamarBlue re-agent is determined in a Wallac Microbeta fluorescence spectrophotometer. ECso values are calculated using Standard Levenburg Marquard algorithms (GraphPadPrizm).
Most of the compounds of Examples 1 to 64 exhibit good to very good activity in the above inhibition test, i.e. an ECso value of less than 5 mol, generally less than 1 mol.
Correspondingly, the compounds according to the invention are also tested on other tu-mour cells. For example these compounds are actively tested on carcinomas of all kinds of tissue [e.g. lung (NCI-H460) and prostate (PC-3)] and may be used for such indications.
This demonstrates the broad range of uses of the compounds according to the invention for treating all kinds of tumours.

Cellomics Array Scan NCI-H460 cells are seeded into fibronectin-coated 96-well dishes (BD BioCoat) in RPMI
1640 medium (Gibco) with 10% foetal calf serum (Gibco) in a density of 4000 cells per well and incubated overnight in an incubator (at 37 C and 5% C02). The active substances are added to the cells in various concentrations. After 24 h incubation the cells are fixed for 10 min by the addition of 100 L with 7.4 % formaldehyde solution at RT, and washed twice with PBS solution. Then the cells are permeabilised by the addition of 100 L of 0.1 % Triton X100 in PBS for 90 seconds, the permeabilising solution is removed by suc-tion filtering and washed with PBS. Non-specific binding sites are saturated by incubating for 20 min with blocking solution (10 % Normal Goat Serum in 2 % BSA/PBS).
After a washing step with PBS, antibodies against phosphorylated histone H3 (1:500 diluted, Up-state) or against tubulin (1:1000 diluted, Sigma) in 2 % BSA/PBS are added and the mix-ture is incubated for 60 min, washed twice with 0.01 % Tween/PBS and incubated for 1 h with Alexa 488-Goat anti Mouse (diluted 1:1000), Alexa 594-Goat anti Rabbit ( diluted 1:5000) and 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, final concentration 300 nM, Molecular Probes) in 2 % BSA/PBS in the dark. After washing twice with 0.01% Tween/PBS
and a washing step with PBS the wells are filled with 270 L of PBS, stuck down with black ad-hesive film and analysed in the Array Scan of Cellomics. For this, the DNA
content of the cells is determined and the cell cycle arrest phase is established. In parallel, analysis of the spindle shape and the content of phosphorylated histone H3 allows a more precise assess-ment of the cell cycle arrest to be made.

On the basis of their biological properties the new compounds of general formula (1), the isomers thereof, pharmacologically acceptable salts and polymorphs thereof are suitable for treating diseases characterised by excessive or abnormal cell proliferation.

antibodies, "growth factor receptor" antibodies and tyrosinekinase inhibitors, such as for example gefitinib, imatinib, lapatinib and trastuzumab); antimetabolites (e.g. antifolates such as methotrexate, raltitrexed, pyrimidine analogues such as 5-fluorouracil, capecitabin and gemcitabin, purine and adenosine analogues such as mercaptopurine, thioguanine, cladribine and pen-tostatin, cytarabine, fludarabine); antitumour antibiotics (e.g. anthracyclins such as doxorubicin, daunorubicin, epirubicin and idarubicin, mitomycin-C, bleomycin, dactino-mycin, plicamycin, streptozocin); platinum derivatives (e.g. cisplatin, oxaliplatin, car-boplatin); alkylation agents (e.g. estramustin, meclorethamine, melphalan, chlorambucil, busulphan, dacarbazin, cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, temozolomide, nitrosoureas such as for example carmustin and lomustin, thiotepa); antimitotic agents (e.g. Vinca alkaloids such as for example vinblastine, vindesin, vinorelbin and vincristine; and taxanes such as paclitaxel, docetaxel); topoisomerase inhibitors (e.g. epipodophyllotoxins such as for ex-ample etoposide and etopophos, teniposide, amsacrin, topotecan, irinotecan, mitoxantron) and various chemotherapeutic agents such as amifostin, anagrelid, clodronat, filgrastin, in-terferon alpha, leucovorin, rituximab, procarbazine, levamisole, mesna, mitotane, pa-midronate and porfimer.

Suitable preparations include for example tablets, capsules, suppositories, solutions, - par-ticularly solutions for injection (s.c., i.v., i.m.) and infusion - elixirs, emulsions or dis-persible powders. The content of the pharmaceutically active compound(s) should be in the range from 0.1 to 90 wt.-%, preferably 0.5 to 50 wt.-% of the composition as a whole, i.e.
in amounts which are sufficient to achieve the dosage range specified below.
The doses specified may, if necessary, be given several times a day.

Suitable tablets may be obtained, for example, by mixing the active substance(s) with known excipients, for example inert diluents such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or lactose, disintegrants such as corn starch or alginic acid, binders such as starch or gela-tine, lubricants such as magnesium stearate or talc and/or agents for delaying release, such as carboxymethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate phthalate, or polyvinyl acetate.
The tablets may also comprise several layers.

Coated tablets may be prepared accordingly by coating cores produced analogously to the tablets with substances normally used for tablet coatings, for example collidone or shellac, gum arabic, talc, titanium dioxide or sugar. To achieve delayed release or prevent incom-patibilities the core may also consist of a number of layers. Similarly the tablet coating may consist of a number of layers to achieve delayed release, possibly using the excipients mentioned above for the tablets.

Syrups or elixirs containing the active substances or combinations thereof according to the invention may additionally contain a sweetener such as saccharine, cyclamate, glycerol or sugar and a flavour enhancer, e.g. a flavouring such as vanillin or orange extract. They may also contain suspension adjuvants or thickeners such as sodium carboxymethyl cellu-lose, wetting agents such as, for example, condensation products of fatty alcohols with eth-ylene oxide, or preservatives such as p-hydroxybenzoates.

Solutions for injection and infusion are prepared in the usual way, e.g. with the addition of isotonic agents, preservatives such as p-hydroxybenzoates, or stabilisers such as alkali metal salts of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, optionally using emulsifiers and/or dispers-ants, whilst if water is used as the diluent, for example, organic solvents may optionally be used as solvating agents or dissolving aids, and transferred into injection vials or ampoules or infusion bottles.
Capsules containing one or more active substances or combinations of active substances may for example be prepared by mixing the active substances with inert carriers such as lactose or sorbitol and packing them into gelatine capsules.

Suitable suppositories may be made for example by mixing with carriers provided for this purpose, such as neutral fats or polyethyleneglycol or the derivatives thereof.

Excipients which may be used include, for example, water, pharmaceutically acceptable organic solvents such as paraffins (e.g. petroleum fractions), vegetable oils (e.g. groundnut or sesame oil), mono- or polyfunctional alcohols (e.g. ethanol or glycerol), carriers such as e.g. natural mineral powders (e.g. kaolins, clays, talc, chalk), synthetic mineral powders (e.g. highly dispersed silicic acid and silicates), sugars (e.g. cane sugar, lactose and glu-cose) emulsifiers (e.g. lignin, spent sulphite liquors, methylcellulose, starch and polyvi-nylpyrrolidone) and lubricants (e.g. magnesium stearate, talc, stearic acid and sodium lauryl sulphate).

The preparations are administered by the usual methods, preferably by oral or transdermal route, most preferably by oral route. For oral administration the tablets may, of course con-tain, apart from the abovementioned carriers, additives such as sodium citrate, calcium carbonate and dicalcium phosphate together with various additives such as starch, prefera-bly potato starch, gelatine and the like. Moreover, lubricants such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulphate and talc may be used at the same time for the tabletting process. In the case of aqueous suspensions the active substances may be combined with various fla-vour enhancers or colourings in addition to the excipients mentioned above.

For parenteral use, solutions of the active substances with suitable liquid carriers may be used.

The dosage for intravenous use is from 1- 1000 mg per hour, preferably between 5 and 500 mg per hour.
However, it may sometimes be necessary to depart from the amounts specified, depending on the body weight, the route of administration, the individual response to the drug, the nature of its formulation and the time or interval over which the drug is administered.
Thus, in some cases it may be sufficient to use less than the minimum dose given above, whereas in other cases the upper limit may have to be exceeded. When administering large amounts it may be advisable to divide them up into a number of smaller doses spread over the day.
